Hello Beautiful People, I, among other things, am a book worm. I love books. I love all things bookish. When I was growing up, there was a rule in our home – no books at the dinner table. And so, when I stumbled across Out of Print Tees, my heart did a happy dance. Here’s…
Hello Beautiful People, This past week, I’ve had the privilege and the pleasure of working alongside Gregory Boyd in the Bay Street Theater’s production of Travesties for the past two weeks.

Hello Beautiful People, The 68th Tony Awards were this evening. And all at once, I remember the bits and pieces of my life that have gotten me to this point. The first time I stepped into the St. James Theatre, when I was five years old, to watch Daisy Eagan and Mandy Patinkin and Rebecca…
Hello Beautiful People, “Pretty.’ ‘Beautiful.’ ‘Nice.’ ‘Fine.’ That’s our life now! Everything’s ‘fine’.

This idea, of DUETS with The Write Teacher(s) has been percolating in my brain for quite some time now. I wanted to have a night of theater that highlighted…
Hello Beautiful People, I am a planner girl. Even with the iPads, the iPhones, iClouds, iCals…(you get the picture), I need to write things down. Like, with a pen. LIke, on paper. I need to see the insane schedule of the week right before my eyes. And I just love the satisfaction of crossing things…
Hello Beautiful People, I love photography. Anyone who knows me, knows that I love photography. I could gush about photography for hours. Days, even. It’s my favorite element of decor. It’s my favorite visual art form. I think it’s one of the greatest visual art forms, to be able to capture an essence of a human…
Hello Beautiful People, Last night, I had the pleasure, the honor, the privilege of seeing one of my dear friends make her 54 Below debut. Last night, my heart just exploded from the sheer joy that I, along with the entire audience of 54 Below experienced while watching Shakina Nayfack‘s One Woman Show. The amount of…
